About
Hello! I’m a professional pianist, flutist, and composer with a rich background in both performance and composition. I graduated from Berklee College of Music and also earned an MFA in Media Scoring from the Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema. With over 20 years of experience playing piano and flute, I’ve performed in a wide range of settings—from chamber ensembles and full orchestras to pop and classical concerts, serving both as a soloist and a section player. My diverse background allows me to offer fully personalized lessons in various styles, including classical, pop, film music, world music, and animation scoring. My teaching goal is simple: to help my students achieve their goals. Every lesson is customized based on what each student wants to accomplish. Before we begin, I take time to understand your interests and aspirations so I can design a plan that truly fits you. I'm passionate about teaching and always patient — I make sure you fully understand each step before moving on. In online lessons, I don’t just demonstrate; I also share my screen, including music books or materials when needed. Even my youngest online student, just 5 years old, learns without any trouble! All ages and experience levels are welcome. I firmly believe it's never too early or too late to start learning something new. If you’re curious and ready to learn, I’m here to support you every step of the way. Language: English/Mandarin

Ying-Ting is an amazing instructor! I'm a intermediate piano player who can't read music fluently but she makes the technique super simple and easy to understand. The lesson was super fun as she's such a sweet teacher. And plus, she is a film composer, if you asked her about it, she can also give you some knowledge on that too. Highly recommended!

Thank you for the fun-filled lessons! She is a great teacher. I’m a slow learner but she’s always nice and patient. I can tell that I’m improving little by little. I’d love to keep taking your lessons!!
